WHILE the Suncorp Super Netball (SSN) might be done and dusted for 2019, we will review a number of talented players who stepped up this year and take a look at just what they have to offer and how they can improve further.

Sasha Glasgow

DOB 19/07/1998
Height: 187cm
Position: GS/GA

Season overview:

It was a breakout season for Sasha Glasgow with the talented goal shooter, growing with confidence throughout Adelaide’s 2019 campaign and relishing the opportunity to work with Maria Folau. But an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in Round 13 put a dampener on her impressive year while stopping next years ambitions right in its tracks.

Assets:

She developed at a rate of knots throughout the season looking more and more at home as the games went on and enhancing her connection out the front with the likes of Chelsea Pitman and Hannah Petty. Glasgow well and truly came out of her shell owning the court with her strong movements, well placed holds and clean hands. She stood up under the pressure of Suncorp Super Netball, backing herself from range and using her feet to edge closer to the post and outmanoeuvre her opponents.

Improvements:

Glasgow will miss most of 2020 with her ACL tear but prior to the injury Glasgow was shaping up to be a prominent goaler for the Thunderbirds. Only being 21 Glasgow still has plenty of development left in her and will be hoping to gain experience in years to come once she is fully recovered. Although her influence under the post was solid she needs to increase her volume and add another layer of versatility to constantly change up her game play and remain a constant threat. Given her light frame, she can often be outmuscled or out-bodied by more imposing defenders and will be looking to strengthen up over the off-season.
